Chapter 496

Visa Cam still came to discuss business with Rock. This time, he not only wanted to buy agricultural products from Johannesburg, but also wanted to hire a team of soldiers from the newly formed First Cavalry Division to live in Visa Cam's house to protect Visa The safety of Cam himself and his family, so Rock inadvertently helped the umbrella company expand its business to India.

Compared with the troops stationed in India, the performance of the new [-]st Cavalry Division is indeed outstanding. Although Visacam has a strong demand for security, it is impossible for Rock to let the new [-]st Cavalry Division accept Visa. Tom's employment.

It is only now that Rock knows that this kind of employment is actually very common in India. Although it seems a bit ridiculous, as long as you pay a fee, you can indeed hire some soldiers to live in your home through some special channels. For those officers Speaking of which, where the troops are stationed does not seem to be a very serious issue.

The reason why Visakam is unwilling to find other people is also because of the huge hidden dangers of this method. After all, not many people let strangers live in their homes without knowing the basics. The quality of Indian soldiers also needs to be improved. Can you Not to mention the role of security, it would be very funny if it was guarded and stolen.

This kind of thing is not to say that there is no such thing. Strictly speaking, Uslam is Lakshmi's subordinate. After encountering unfair treatment, he suddenly became violent.

For the umbrella company, the Indian business is an overseas business. The staff work in India, and the umbrella company has to pay overseas allowances, so the charges for this kind of work are very high. Hiring a team of ten security officers can cost more than £3000 a year.

This price is indeed a bit high, but Visakam gritted his teeth and agreed. It is really shocking what happened to Lakshmi. If people are gone, what is the use of keeping more money? In the end, it can only be cheap The Indian government, or some unknown distant relative.

All of Lakshmi's immediate family members have died, so now Lakshmi's deputy king position has lost an heir, and the Indian government has selected an heir from among Lakshmi's distant relatives to inherit Lakshmi's title, although it will It would cost a lot of money, but the Vice King of Trust would definitely not care about this. For the Vice King of Trust, his title fell from the sky, so there was nothing to dislike.

Visakam is very worried that he will be like Lakshmi in the future, so it is not wrong to spend 3000 pounds a year. As long as the territory is there, the money can always be earned back.

The position of deputy king is estimated to exist only in India, just like the position of "South African Commissioner" is in southern Africa.

There are too many British colonies. There are four colonies in southern Africa. Except for a governor in each colony, there is a South African official in the four colonies. In the past, this position belonged to Adelaide, but now this position is Selborne. The earl is in charge, so the earl of Selborne is able to promote the autonomy of southern Africa.

The deputy kings are actually the local kings of India. Of course, the nominal king of India is the British king, and then these local kings of India become the deputy kings. They cooperate with the British king to manage India, which means "sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats".

Although 3000 pounds is not much for Roque, Roque still attaches great importance to the business of the umbrella company.

Although one 3000 pounds is not much, but many 3000 pounds can add up to a considerable amount. There are 550 maharajas in India, and there are not too many of them who have security needs. Even if only one-tenth of the maharajas need security services, the total business Added up, it can also make Rock wake up from his dreams with a smile.

The key is that India is very close to Nepal. Although the relationship between Chandra and Rock is very good now, the Nepalese government is very cooperative with the newly formed First Cavalry Division. It is hard to say what the future will be like. If Rock wants to get a steady stream from Nepal For the source of soldiers, it is still necessary to set up a direct agent in India, just like Hilton Robert.

Hilton Robert is based in Kathmandu. He is not only responsible for the recruitment of Gurkha mercenaries, but also responsible for maintaining the relationship between the British government and the Nepalese government. This position is actually very important.

Moreover, expanding the business to India in the umbrella company will also produce a benefit that will not be seen for a while.

The British government's attitude towards the colonies has always been cautious. Rock, a Baron of Nyasaland, has not been able to legitimately form an army in Nyasaland until now. He can only build the army in the name of the South African company. The name "Northern Rhodesian Division" was also named to avoid the restraint of the British government.

The Umbrella Company is another force in Rock's hands. On the surface, the Umbrella Company is a commercial company. In fact, the Umbrella Company is a military organization through and through. Now the Umbrella Company has more than 4000 employees, which is almost the same as that of the Northern Division of Rhodesia. , Comparable to the new First Cavalry Division, peacetime does not affect the umbrella company to make money, once a war breaks out, just an umbrella company can form an army at any time.

The organizational structure of Umbrella Company is similar to that of regular troops. The general manager is equivalent to the chief of staff. The department managers below are of course the battalion and company officers. The various team leaders and squad leaders below are the grassroots officers of the army. The grassroots officials of the umbrella company will be sent to the military academy for training in batches, which will make it easier to improve the strength of the umbrella company.

Compared with the Chinese security guards in Johannesburg, Gurkha mercenaries are actually the best source of soldiers for the umbrella company.

The British government hired Gurkha mercenaries and never had the idea of ​​mercenary family members. The reason why Roque wanted the mercenary family members to immigrate was to strengthen the strength of Johannesburg on the one hand, and to better control these Gurkhas on the other hand. Mercenaries, guarantee their loyalty, as long as their families are in Johannesburg, Rock is not worried that the mercenaries will betray for money.

The current mercenaries are still different from those professional mercenaries in the future. Those professional mercenaries in the future are a group of war hyenas. They are willing to do anything for money, and loyalty does not exist at all.

The loyalty of the current mercenaries can still be guaranteed. After all, the Gurkha mercenaries are all centralized operations and completely militarized management. Even if some people want to win over and corrupt, they probably won't find many opportunities.

Umbrella Company expands its business to India, and can easily hire the most outstanding Gurkhas through India. Even if the newly formed First Cavalry Division wants to expand its troops in the future, it does not need to go through Hilton Robert, and can be expanded through the umbrella. Convenient finish.

In order to ensure the smooth development of Umbrella Company's business, Roque still chose to put the Indian branch of Umbrella Company in Calcutta. After all, Calcutta has the most wealthy people in India, and their needs for security are the most urgent.

Since it is cooperating with an umbrella company, a formal business contract is required.

India also has lawyers, and Gandhi was an unsuccessful lawyer before going to southern Africa.

Drafting this kind of commercial contract is trivial for lawyers. Rock still found the most famous lawyer in Dhaka to be responsible for drafting the commercial contract with Visacam.

The crux of the problem now is that there is no person in charge of the umbrella company in India, and Rock can't come forward to sign the contract with Visacam in person, so Rock called Zach to sign the contract on behalf of the umbrella company.

It has been five or six years since Zach came to Rock. After so many years of experience, his temperament has become more stable now, and he is gradually thinking about the development of a professional butler like Charles de Gaulle. It is still very appropriate to sign on behalf of the umbrella company.

When Visakham saw Zach, he still habitually wanted to get close to Zach, shaking hands and greeting him very enthusiastically.

Zach doesn't talk nonsense, and he can talk nonsense if he wants to. His tongue was cut off when he was in Robben Island Prison, so Zach rarely even smiled, and he was always meticulous and expressionless.

Wissakam was very depressed. He felt that Zach was not easy to deal with, but he was still not discouraged.

"It turns out that Mr. Zach is the steward of Lord Nyasaland. Lord Nyasaland really has a bright future. He occupies a high position at a young age. As the steward of Lord Nyasaland, Mr. Zach must be busy at work. Very well, I am very interested in Lord Nyasaland's territory. If I have the opportunity, I must go to Nyasaland once to see with my own eyes how prosperous Lord Nyasaland's territory is. I believe, then It must be a city comparable to Calcutta—” Visakham doesn’t understand Nyasaland at all, how big is a city of 40 square kilometers?

It is estimated that everyone in the world can be crammed into it.

Zac didn't speak, and his posture when he sat down to sign was very standard. He used a limited edition gold pen produced by Eternal when he signed. The font of the signature was still beautiful cursive, which was much better than Visacam's font.

"Mr. Zack's English calligraphy is really beautiful. Few people can sign so beautifully. Mr. Zack, you must have received higher education. I don't know which school Mr. Zack graduated from? I was at the University of London ten years ago. Although it was only two short years of college study, those two years left me with many good memories. London is the greatest city in the world, with the most beautiful scenery and the most complete urban facilities in the world. As an Englishman, it is really a blessing to be able to live in a city like London—” Visakham is blindly touting, the scenery of London is as hard to describe as the urban facilities.

Probably Zach also felt that Visakam's words were a bit funny, so he inadvertently smiled when he shook hands with Visacam after signing.

Only then did Visakham realize that Zac had no tongue.

Immediately, he was in awe of Lord Nyasaland's royal ways.
